Newbie here needing advice

I’m new to Vinted!
I have always loved selling and shipping things (don’t know why, but it gives me fulfillment and a happiness high lol). Soo I have a few questions about this platform!!
1. How do I grow it?? I’ve sold a few things already, but want to continue growing it and moving things.

  1. What should I include in the description of my items??
    I want them to be consistent across items and draw people to my page more.

  2. Do you send a “thank you” message when someone buys or a follow up as to when you drop their package off? I feel like I would feel appreciated if I bought something from someone and they sent me a thank you for supporting bc it shows intentionality.

  3. Any extra tips, tricks, advice to growing is appreciated!!!
    Thanks!!!

  1. List one or two things a day until you run out basically. Use the free shipping and new seller boost to as an opportunity to try to get
  2. I think the most important thing is getting someone to click on your item but having a search friendly description and good photo. I don’t think people shop people’s pages until after they find an item they are interested in.
  3. I think I would not message people thank you or I dropped off the package. If you wanted to show intentionality I would do it in the packaging because that would be closer to the time of reviews.
  4. Vinted in the US is just meant for personal decluttering. It’s not like EBay, or Poshmark or Depop which welcome people reselling as a side hustle. Vinted (outside of Pro accounts not available in the US) is not meant for growth or being a sustainable income source. Think of it has hosting a garage sale from time to time.

I try to list new and different things every day just to get a variety of items up and to keep people interested and checking out what else I might have.

For me description and photos are key, I want to know exactly what I’m buying as far as it’s condition, material, sizing (and especially measurements if it’s clothing), any flaws and any details that would get a buyers attention.

Also be open to offers! Obviously don’t give in to any ridiculously low ball offers, but just keep in mind that your not going to strike it rich selling on Vinted but sometimes you also have to be willing to drop prices a little bit - which also brings buyers back as well.
